PMfgIsoExtractionRule

I was wondering if anyone had (and could share) the source code for PMfgIsoExtractionRule ?

Thanks,

PMfgIsoExtractionRule.dll is a part of core component and not open to users for customization.

Only we can do is to choose rule type.

PipeLine/Spool/WBS/PipeRun.
What else are you trying to do?(I can not imagine other type)
My interest is which one to be used as default Iso rule in other company.
Please share your experience and opinion.

I'm creating system Isometrics, which are based on Pipeline. However, the system hierarchy isbroken up by module, meaning one Pipeline may show up in several locations within the System Hierarchy. We need to group all the duplicate pipelines parts and have them show up on one System Isometric.

In principle, Isometric drawing needs only one corresponding object.
If you want to create one Iso with several pipe lines,use WBS.

Define WBS and assign pipelines to one WBS item. Then create Iso with WBS extraction rule.
Our piping engineer tried to assign every piping component to WBS and create Iso. It's time consuming method compared with normal pipe line case.

hi
we also using WBS method to extract Isometric.

WBS type has flexibility by assigning any kind of model object and put together into one Iso.
But assigning WBS is slightly tedious additional work to do.

Which type of object to be assigned is my concern. Pipe line, pipe run or piping component??

WBS isometrics is not the issue.

The Group Pipe Parts command uses the PMfgIsoExtractionRule along with a discrimination filter to gather pipe parts together and assigns them to a WBS item.
The project has over 25,000 pipelines and the smallest unit has over 1000 pipelines. 1000 WBS items in one folder is a bit to many to handle. I was hoping to modify the PMFgIsoExtractionRule help aliviate this problem. I could be barking up the wrong tree as I do not fully understand what the PMFgIsoExtractionRule does, and with out the code I probably never will.

I'll have to see if I can modify my discrimation filter or create a .net custom command to assign the parts to the WBS items.
